Summary

Pinnaroo street scene. Pinnaroo is situated near the Victorian border and derives its name from the Aboriginal word for "big man". It was first settled in 1869. The railway arrived in the area shortly before this photograph was taken. Wheat growing was the main farming endeavour followed by sheep, and barley crops. This street scene shows the Land of Promise Hotel which was established in 1906 and was the first hotel in Pinnaroo. It was also known as Commercial Hotel and the Golden Grain Hotel. Robert Peter Allen was the proprietor at the time of the photograph. Next door stands the building holding the tobacconist, hairdresser and billiard hall. It was established in 1910 by A Killmier. Next to this stands the Commercial Bank of Australia building. Groups of men and a horse and cart complete the scene
